How is Laminate Flooring Made?

When it comes to thinking about purchasing a new floor for your home, you have probably thought about laminate flooring and wondered how exactly it is made. Laminate floor panels are usually made from four basic layers. The first is the balancing layer, followed by the core layer, then the pattern layer and finally the wear layer. All these individual layers ensure the floor is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

The top layer is the arguably the most important layer, especially for durability. The melamine solution that makes up this layer is what protects the entire floor boards from scratches, burns and stains to give the floor its longevity. Underneath the wear layer is the pattern layer. Made from thin but highly strong printed paper, the pattern layer is what gives the laminate floor its authentic wood, stone or ceramic finish.

The pattern layer is the decorative paper which gives laminate flooring its appearance of real wood, stone or ceramic. Made from highly durable paper, this layer is printed with a realistic looking wood grain or a stone/ceramic finish. Finally there is the wear layer which, as the name suggests, is the laminate flooring’s protective layer. Coated in a melamine resin, the floorboards then become almost completely resistant to burns, scratches and stains.

Because laminate flooring is made into panels, they can quickly be put together to create a new floor. With each panel made using a clever but simple tongue-and-groove technique to slot into place, fitting laminate flooring is a fairly easy process (although some still prefer professionals to fit them for the perfect finish).

Laminate flooring is a fairly inexpensive alternative to the real thing like hard wood or stone. A new firm favourite when it comes to flooring, over the last ten years the finishes have become more and more authentic, today making it often hard to distinguish between laminate flooring and the ‘real’ thing.
